36830 NCRR Passenger Car
36831 NCRR Half Baggage Car/Combine
20284 Nevada Central RR Mogul Steam Locomotive
48676 NCRR Freight Boxcar
LGB Remembers an American Narrow Gauge Shortline
LGB/Märklin takes us back to the memory of silver mine towns in Nevada with four items coming in third quarter
2024. Modeled on the 3-foot gauge Nevada Central Railroad in the 1930s just before it closed, the Mogul steam
locomotive, passenger car, half baggage combine, and boxcar would have carried passengers, mail and freight
between the Battle Mountain stop on the Central Pacic/Southern Pacic and the town of Austin, Nevada, near
silver mines from the 1880s. Disney animator Ward Kimball purchased a Mogul from the NCRR when it shut down
and renamed/repainted it "Emma Nevada" to run on his backyard Grizzly Flats Railroad. Emma Nevada is now
on display in the Grizzly Flats barn at the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris, California.
LGB's Nevada Central Railroad (NCRR) Mogul 2-6-0 steam
locomotive is equipped with an mfx/DCC decoder with multiple
light and sound functions, a smoke unit with smoke exhaust syn-
chronized to the wheels and cylinder steam, prototypical paint
and lettering, driving wheels propelled by a ball-bearing Bühler
motor, and traction tires.
The NCRR passenger car, half baggage car/combine, and freight boxcar are typical American old-timer cars
painted and lettered for the Nevada Central Railroad as they were when used in the ʼ30s. Cars come with metal
wheelsets, complete interior details, and doors that can swing (or slide) open.

SplitJaw Products Upgrades their
Auto Shuttle/Reversing Unit and
Adds an Outdoor Enclosure Option
Split Jaw Products has improved their Auto Shuttle/Re-
versing controller, adding an easier way to adjust the
stop-pause time. An optional
kit adds an intermediate stop
(minimum 10 feet between
stops). The 5 amp controller is
an accelerating/decelerating
back-and-forth reversing unit
with complete hands-o oper-
ation and the capacity to run
lights, sound and smoke on
your train without overload-
ing. The unit senses the ends
of the track and self-adjusts
to provide a very realisitic
slowdown and then creep to
a stop. Track ends are sensed using a pair of Split Jaw
insulating rail clamps, plus easy to install diodes (all
included). An optional weather-resistant enclosure for
the controller is available for outdoor use.
For more information, go to:
www.railclamp.com
New Long-Span SplitJaw Bridges
Split Jaw Products is oering more single or double
track aluminum bridges with walkways and handrails.

Check Etsy Vendors for
Detailing your Railroad
Etsy.com is generally regarded as a site to nd hand
crafted home decorations — wall plaques, cookie cut-
ters, candles and the like. But we’ve been seeing some
sites that make gures and kits of interest to garden
railroaders. Here are a couple.
SWC3DBackshop specializes
in 3D printing nely detailed
kits of unusual railroading and
logging equipment, as well
as gures, in scales from “G”
to “F” (1:20.3) to 7/8ths. Kits
range from backwoods moon-
shine stills to 6-drum yarding
donkeys. While the resin kits
do not come with instructions,
the owner, Mike, provides
many pictures of the kits in var-
ious stages of assembly. Detail
parts such as Nut/Bolt/Washer castings and logging
fairleads are also available.
Jim Sander’s “Wee Bee Loco” has a reputation among
the ‘burnt ngers’ crowd as a source for well-made live
steam accessories such as gas ll adapters, Goodall
valves and precision-tuned safety valves. The owner,
Jim Sanders, got out of direct sales
several years ago, and his parts have
become more dicult to nd. However
a shop has opened recently on Etsy
called “MidwestRail” which focuses on
distributing these specialty items. If you
need a safety that pops o at precisely
60 lbs, this is the place to go. Midwest-
Rail owner, Brian, has also started
making short atcar kits with wood and 3D printing, a
Hudson tipper wagon kit, and a variety of resin-printed
gures in 1/32, 16mm, 1/20.3, and 7/8ths.

Outreach Ideas from
Medford, Oregon
anks, Mick [for notication email
regarding release of issue 2023 #6].
I did click and distribute this upon
receipt.
FYI, I also ordered a hard copy from
blurb.com, which came in the mail
yesterday. Wow, did they do a nice
job—quality paper, great color and
bound like a book, not a magazine.
I’ll be sharing this around the club to
raise awareness and include the few
members who are internet-phobic.
By the way, I think we missed a bet—
we should have let you know we have
a train exhibit at the Rogue Valley
Mall (Medford, OR) open daily
thru early January. We’re running six
G-Scale lines and several N and Z as
well.
Wish we had let you know so we
could have been included in the list
of holiday events in this issue.
Neal Smith
Medford Garden Railroaders OR
ank you for the distributionof GR
News. Getting a print copy to show
members is a great idea, which we are
likely to mention to other clubs.
It’s also wonderful that you are running
at the mall. Your promotion of the hobby
is terric.
